I use FrontLook components effects -> presenter. It is add-on
software that is compatable with Frontpage. It installs itself in
your "insert" menu. A few clues for doing a good slide show: 1)
create a color background (I use black) that is a specific size of the
"screen" i.e., 600 x 600 pixels. and place your images on this
background, sized so they're "framed" on the black background. Save
each image with a title, i.e., Figureshow-1, Figureshow-2, etc. as
a .jpg. Then, when you add the images to your slide show, as they
"transition" they're all the same size and they won't flicker or
refresh so visibly. The FrontLook components allow you to format your
slide shows a number of different ways. You need to insert all the
images onto a page in your website, then save the page which saves the
images to your "image" folder. Then when you activitate the FrontLook
slide show, the images are already in your FP images folder. After
I've created the slide show, I then delete the images that were
originally place on the page so you're left with just the slide
show.
You can go to my website at
http://www.lindalevy.com/digital_experiments_4.htm
for an example of "mouse over the title" to see the image. and
http://www.pascalberan.com/Remerge.htm to see a "timed" slide show
with description words beneath each image.
Hope this helps. You CAN do a slide show in FP, and it's fairly easy
to do so.
